Sometimes, life gives you surprises...


Yep...a surprise.  I went for my annual mammogram, and they found a suspicious area that needed to have a more through look... I got a technician that was fantastic.  She not only got me right in but after they found the lump, she got the doctor to do the biopsy right there and then!  That's not common.  
Okay...What they found...It's a 6 millimeter, in size, a baby pea....  That's very small.  The doctor said that if one has to have a lump, this is the size you'd want.  They found it super soon! (THANK YOU GOD).  
I have an appointment on September 15th with the surgeon.  I'll know more then.  I don't know yet, if it's slow growing or aggressive...the surgeon will talk all that over with me at my appointment.
How am I doing?  Well...this sounds strange but, I know God was with me...I felt absolutely nothing but extreme calm.  In fact, I was trying to calm the doctor and technician! lolol...
Now!  What have I always said?  Get Your Mammograms!!!  Do you know how close I came to putting off this appointment because I was feeling super busy and I could get it done later...later...NO!  IF you do this, you're playing with fire!  Just GO!  If it's been a while since you've gotten one, Make an Appointment today!  Well, Monday!  Just Do It!  The new machines are a breeze to use, and they don't do all that squeezing anymore...a little, yes but, not even close to what they used to do!
I'll let you know what the surgeon says...but for now, On With The Show.




This is why we do all those test...it's really not for us...it's for them...

I made this rag quilt at the request of my daughter Crystal, for a co-worker that found out she also has breast cancer...but further along than mine.  I put Psalm verses into the patches for her to read while she does chemo...say a prayer for her if you would...her name is April.


I did this one for daughter Crystal and...


this one for granddaughter, Sam...


I also finished the above quilt for my granddaughter, Sami...but I made those Rag Quilts all in about a week and a half!  She wanted one of those, as well.  Nervous energy I suppose.







Pork ribs and chicken thighs with sweet potatoes for lunch...so good!


Roast and potatoes...


Fish sandwich for lunch...


French toast at home...always so good.


What is UP with portions these days, of cereal?  They have shrunk Chex Cereal down to a dime!!


Well guys, I guess that's it for me today...gotta get ready for church.
Hope you all are well, happy and safe in this idiotic world... Love and be kind to those around you.  See you next time...
hugs
Donna
